The SuperU Anniversaire Box
As the person who does most of the shopping chez nous I find it good to sign up for the club card for the super markets. I mainly shop at two supermarkets SuperU and Carrefour. SuperU because it’s the big one close by. Carrefour … cus they are everywhere....
Nandi’s Indian Restaurant in Nantes
It’s not often we get out in the evening. Kids and lack of family close by tend to do that a bit. However it was a special occasion a few weeks ago, namely my birthday. I asked Val if she’d like to try Nandi’s Indian and well I didn’t need to...

Totum Cantine Bio – Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten Free in Nantes
I’ve been meaning to get across to Totum for a while now but one thing led to another and we just didn’t get across. It’s a 2 minute walk from commerce. Truth be told though for me at times the idea of going out for a nice meal and buying vegetarian...

The Lighthouse at Les Sables-d’Olonne
The Lighthouse at Les Sables-d’Olonne taken from around 800 – 1000 meters away. Hazy and dull day but I like the shot a lot.
Kidney Bean Burgers
This is pretty much Jack Monroe’s Kidney Bean Burger recipe from Cooking on a Bootstrap and I’ve tried it a few times now and it’s definitely becoming a favourite around here. I only came across her site last year but she’s got some great...
€160 Free? That sounds “Très Bien” to me
Free Money! It’s amazing the lengths the banks will go to get new customers though I guess when you do setup an account you’re possibly going to be there for life. This one only applies to students who’ve just finished their BAC though. If...
